“…Overall, males, highly educated people and farm workers were more likely to know about aflatoxins. It is well known that Vietnamese women continue to face big challenges, including poverty, limited access to higher education and discriminatory attitude and behaviours which was consistent with our findings (Schuler et al, 2006). Interestingly, most participants did not know that aflatoxins are harmful to human and animal health.…”

Vietnam is a tropical country with high temperature and precipitation, which may provide good conditions for fungal growth. A few limited studies have been conducted to evaluate the level of aflatoxin B 1 in maize in Vietnam. In addition, no studies have been conducted to evaluate the perception and knowledge of aflatoxins in Vietnam. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to determine the levels of aflatoxin B 1 for human and animal consumption in maize and evaluate perceptions and knowledge of aflatoxins among people across the country. A total of 2,370 samples were collected from six provinces and analysed using ELISA. Among collected samples, 799 samples (33.71%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 31.81-35.66%) and 687 samples (28.98%, 95%CI: 27.17-30.86%) had levels above 2 µg/kg and 5 µg/kg, respectively [range from below limit of detection (LOD) to 34.8 µg/kg; of the samples above LOD, the mean was 13.1 µg/kg and median was 11.2 µg/kg]. A total of 551 people were interviewed from 6 provinces. The survey showed that awareness of aflatoxins (question: Have you heard about aflatoxins?) in southern Vietnam [An Giang (25%), Dak Lak (23.23%) and Dong Nai (6%)] was relatively higher than in provinces in northern Vietnam. We believe that this analysed information can be useful to better understand the epidemiology of aflatoxins in different provinces. This study also produces evidence on potential risk to humans and animals in Vietnam as well as demographic factors (such as gender and level of education) significantly influencing knowledge of aflatoxins. In conclusion, this paper points to the importance of raising the awareness of the risks with aflatoxins, bearing in mind the gender aspect during capacity development.

“…Such conceptualisations, together with public discourses surrounding women's contemporary social roles, place an overwhelming responsibility on women to 'endure' in order to maintain the semblance of 'harmony' within the home, for the good of both the nation and the family (Rydstrom, 2003;Schuler et al, 2006). Women continue to bear responsibility for 'raising children well' while also maintaining 'good relationships with their parents' (Schuler et al, 2006, p. 386).…”

“…Moreover, in the case of Lien, we see how children are subject to the same social norms and can act as mediators of symbolic violence, by reinforcing traditional gender ideologies. Thus, children can co-construct their mothers' responses, in this case to maintain the appearance of familial harmony (Rydstrom, 2003;Schuler et al, 2006).…”

Understandings of women's agency in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) have been dominated by an individualistic focus on help-seeking behaviour. The role of children in influencing, enabling and restricting the decision-making processes of their mothers has been largely ignored. We adopt biographical analytical approaches to qualitative longitudinal data collected as part of the Young Lives study to highlight the interdependency of women's and children's agency in contexts of IPV in Vietnam. We illustrate how women's agency is both enabled and constrained by their relationships with their children, as well as by wider structural processes, and examine how gender and generation intersect. In marginalised settings where few formal services exist or strong social norms preclude women from accessing support, understanding these informal coping strategies and the processes by which these are negotiated is essential for developing more effective policy responses.

“…Yet, while the organization promotes women's advancement and gender equality through variety means of economic, health, and other social-support programs, WVU also mainly pressures women to be the sole master of family harmony through socially-valued traditions (i.e. Confucianism) which are essentially rooted on gender inequality (Schuler et al, 2006). Thus, suggesting WVU may be missing the opportunities to bring fundamental improvements in gender equality as they continuously exhort women to improve themselves but failing to take involvement of men into account.…”

This research aimed to explore descriptive study on the working conditions for the garment factories workers in Vietnam based on gender and to find out the causes of gender inequality in the factories during the period of 2012-2014, especially since empirical evidences suggest gender equality in the workplace is beneficial for firm performance when managed properly. The research methodologies used for this study are quantitative research and qualitative research. The quantitative research used descriptive study to explain the data of the workers' survey collected by Better Work. The qualitative research is utilized literature review on barriers in the workplace for women both in Vietnam.
